Chapter 207: Coal Mines and Large Planes
Preparations for modern warfare are complicated, so the army has a huge staff department. However, in this time and space, there could be no qualified staff officers at all, so all the work fell to Qin Mu alone.
But he can't prepare for the war wholeheartedly, because he still has to hurry up on industrial matters, and he can't relax for a moment.
Tengxian Coal Mine has made a qualitative leap under the epoch-making technological improvement of Qin Mu.
The amount of coal produced in one month is now comparable to that of the past year. This made the three old clubs in Tengxian County overjoyed.
The flatbread stall was bigger, and Young Master Qin didn't brag.
In the Great Song Dynasty, coal was not sold, and as much as it was sold, so every basket of coal dug out was money. Even if dozens of miners die, what are they afraid of? It wasn't his own family who died.
In previous years, so many fights every year were not about killing people. In that case, the dead will have to pay for it in the clan and need to be compensated.
Now that he is dying in the coal mine, the clan not only does not pay money, but also makes a profit. Because Qin Mu stipulated the bereavement allowance specifications for coal mines, the coal mine corresponded to the compensation standard for every worker's injury or death in the line of duty.
This money came from the mine, that is, Young Master Qin paid it himself, and it had nothing to do with the two patriarchs. And not only that, but they will also take a share of this money as the public money of the clan.
The third elder of Teng County felt that Young Master Qin was simply a stupid and outrageous immortal. There are so many immortal spells, and there are such clever techniques, but they are so calculating about the dead person, it is simply unreasonable!
But whatever, it's not his own money anyway.
As long as you can make a lot of money, the three elders of Teng County have no opinion, just Qin Mu toss.
After Tong Han and Zhe Kecun handed over, they quickly entered a new role.
This mine has no official name yet, whether it is called Tengxian Coal Mine or Weishanhu Iron and Steel Base, Qin Mu couldn't make up his mind for a while. Because he had not yet visited the field, he was not sure whether he was transporting iron ore or coal.
Therefore, Tong Han's title has not been determined. In the end, it is the director of Tengxian Coal Mine or the director of Weishanhu Iron and Steel Base.
But Tong Han doesn't care about this, Young Master Qin lets himself manage this coal mine well, then he must make 10,000 efforts to do it well.
His family is now the richest man in Wujiazhuang.
A small Wujiazhuang can't have too many rich people, so it won't be the Great Song Dynasty of this time and space.
Except for Wu Zhuang's family, most of them are tenants and poor.
It's hard enough to make ends meet. If you get rich, don't think about it.
However, since Wujiazhuang changed from an ordinary small village in the Great Song Dynasty to "Wujiazhuang Gongye Park", various factories were gradually built, and the income of the people of Wujiazhuang has increased by leaps and bounds.
The peasants were actually extremely poor in this time and space. They didn't have much cash, and their only possessions were grain and vegetables from the fields. How much can I get for this thing?
And as the saying goes, "If you don't kill the poor, you won't get rich!" ”
The poor are the lowest and the most exploited, basically everything that can be squeezed out, and if they can not die, they can be regarded as the kindness of the court.
They really don't have any money in their hands. In Wujiazhuang that day, in addition to the owner of Wuzhuang who was a rich man, another rich man was the elder.
Don't look at the elders in the imperial court bureaucracy system, there is no such number, but in the village, there is still real power. If you have the right, you can exchange money, so the elder also has some money, otherwise how can he build a two-story building for Li Xiao'e.
Now that they are all dead, the richest man in Wujiazhuang has changed and become a Tonghan.
Tong Han's family all work in the factory. Qin Mu's factory salary is very high, the key is to have it every month, or cash, which makes Tong Han's family develop rapidly. I have money in my hand, but I haven't had it for many years.
All the people of Wujiazhuang are grateful to Young Master Qin. Although the work is hard, after getting acquainted with it, the workers find that this work is still much easier than farming.
At least the wind can't blow, the sun can't shine, and there is a lot of cash to take every month. Such a good day, they never dreamed. I have money in my hand, and no one has come to rob it - Wujiazhuang is not even a gangster, and he was all arrested in prison by the concubine, and he will not let go of the reform.
Tong Han felt that Young Master Qin must be a mortal immortal in the world, otherwise how could he make a small Wujiazhuang so good. He is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, not to mention that the better Young Master Qin's career, the more he will get.
Besides, Tong Han saw it very clearly, Young Master Qin is not just to make money, but only to make money, so why does the powerful guard regiment eat? Do you want to put it on the table?
Although Tong Han had never seen the firepower display of the Guards Regiment once, through his understanding of the various machines in the factory, he understood the terrible force of the Guards Regiment.
The cigarette rolls are spewing out like a waterfall, and the rifles of the Guards Regiment can also output like this!
With such terrifying force, could he not understand what Young Master Qin was thinking in his heart? Tong Han has to work hard for the great future of his family.
The Tengxian coal mine is completely different from the small factory in Wujiazhuang. Not only is it many times larger, but the production process is completely different from that of a cigarette factory. But Tong Han has gone through the experience of Wujiazhuang's factories, and he is no longer the original Wujiazhuang contractor.
He is the director of the new era, the manager and the builder.
With the help of Qin Mu and Fang Haoyin, Tong Han quickly took over the daily management of the coal mine. He knew that Young Master Qin attached great importance to human life, so as soon as he took office, he vigorously paid attention to production safety.
The various rules and regulations formulated by Young Master Qin are already very comprehensive, but after all, Qin Mu is not from this time and space, and he has never worked in a coal mine, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. Tong Hanquan thought of these places, and he improved the safety production system of coal mines.
At the same time, Director Tong made great efforts to implement. Every safety measure that is not in place will result in an immediate stop and a fine.
Stoppage is no money, and fines are even more money. This made the three elders of Tengxian very dissatisfied.
Where did this Tong factory director come from? But a grassroots person still dares to take it big in front of us. They don't take Tong Han seriously at all.
But Tong Han didn't pay attention to them. These people, in Tong Han's opinion, are all antiques. They had no idea what Young Master Qin was doing. The Guards Regiment is in front of them, and they are still treated as ordinary militia groups, which is simply ridiculous.
With the backing of the Guards Regiment, Tong Han did not give in at all. What should be done must be done well, and the tasks assigned by Young Master Qin must be completed.
Under his vigorous rectification, the mortality rate of the coal mine plummeted, and the production task was not delayed.
This made Qin Mu very satisfied. Sure enough, talents are everywhere, and it depends on whether you can find them.
Qin Mu flew to the Tengxian Coal Mine in his busy schedule, not to praise Tong Han - it was really unnecessary, and there was no time. He's going to build a coking plant in the coal mine.
Steelmaking is coking! This is a common saying in the steel industry in later generations. Without coke, there is no steel.
Qin Mu used to do this job. But not in the afterlife, but in this time and space, in the Great Liao Kingdom.
At that time, he was knocked unconscious by Yu Liyan and captured, and was forced to make a steam crossbow. In the process, Qin Mu established a coking plant for Daliao.
After returning to the later generations, he specially consulted Director Jiang.
With operational experience and theoretical guidance, the establishment of the coking plant in Tengxian Coal Mine is a hundred times smarter. It is far from being comparable to the soil coke oven in Daliao.
Qin Mu increased coal production more than ten times, not to sell more money. This is purely a steelmaking need.
At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, everything could be reduced to one sentence: more steel!
The more steel you have, the more power you have. The truth is within cannon range. But cannons can't be made of wood, they are made of mud.
Without steel, where did the cannon come from. Without cannons, how can you reason with others?
Coking plants must be built, and they must be built in large quantities.
Qin Mu worked in the coal mine for ten days before he initially set up a shelf. This is still far from being able to put into production, but Qin Mu has no time to consume it here, and the Guards Regiment is about to go on an expedition.
In addition to the combat units of the Guards Regiment, the medical troops also carried out. Of those female soldiers, three were left in the coal mine for medical support, and the rest had to go out with the large army - soldiers who had not been through the war were not qualified.
The Guards Regiment quietly set off. This is the core area of the Great Song Dynasty, and when you set off to Fuzhou, you have to go to Bianliang, which is really not suitable for the appearance of the army in a neat appearance.
When Shi Yi sat on the boat and traveled through the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, his heart was full of regrets.
It's uncomfortable to change into this people's clothes. He was very much looking forward to the day when he would be able to stand in Bianliang City with a majestic appearance, trample on those imperial ministers who were on a vegetarian diet, and then contemptuously tell them who is the real master of this world!
It's not you, it's our leader!
But now I can only express my deep regret.
Those once terrifyingly tall walls are now completely out of the eyes of the stone relics. We have planes in the Guards regiment, you know. Do you know what an airplane is? Can the highest wall be sky-high? We are in the sky, flying everything!
It's just that there are a few planes, and the passenger capacity is too low. You can only do two planes, but if you can do two hundred, five hundred, wouldn't all the Guards regiments be able to get on planes?
If you have an airplane, you can still walk and take a boat.
Modern military operations are well-planned. Shi Yu knew very well how long the Guards Regiment would have to travel. That's what he regrets, it's been too long, it's a pure waste.
Although he didn't know why the head of the regiment was so busy every day, he couldn't stop for a moment, but he knew what it meant.
This shows that Qin Mu cares about time very much. The head of the regiment wants everything to be done as quickly as possible.
Shiyi also formulated a plan based on this, but the level of science and technology determines the upper limit. No matter how much he calculates, he can't save much time.
At this time, Shi Yi especially hoped that the Guards Regiment would have an airplane! And it's not a small plane, it's a big plane, which can hold five hundred people at a time! Even if you can't fit so many, you can hold at least a hundred people, a company!
Shi Yi knew very well that as long as he held a company and three artillery squads, he could win the war even in the face of an enemy of 10,000 people!
When will there be a big plane? He couldn't help but think of the oil base in Qingzhou.
That base was built by the soldiers of the Guards Regiment led by the regimental commander. Because there was a large amount of machinery and equipment from later generations, the Liangshan bandits basically couldn't get involved at all. As a builder, Ishiki participated in every work from beginning to end.
He knew very well that those liquids that smelled strange were the blood of the future world.
Steel is bones, oil is blood. This is what Qin Mu once taught them.
This blood has already been excavated by the Guards Regiment, so what about the planes? Isn't it going to be like gasoline, made for the Guards Regiment and give wings to the Guards Regiment!
Shi Yi looked forward to that day, he felt that he would definitely see the big plane of the Guards Regiment!
